Hi Pierre

That mini portrait looks good ....I just need to get the courage to start mine ! ....like the sash on Blücher

Really must get that Hindenburg!

Is the other bemedalled from Legion ?

Happy benchtime

Quick piccy update

Ties finished went for a simple restrained design , in keeping with the subject IMO

Shirts painted but keep looking at the lower collar edge on his right .......putty might be coming out

Started on the hair as well ...long way to go !

All comments welcome

Happy St George's day and benchtime

Hi everyone

After much sobbing and muttering , happy with the look of the top frame of the glasses , perhaps a tiny bit of sanding back

Side pieces of glasses ready ...with a few spare ! ... will add around the ears with Magisculpt

Frames will be painted a brown, streaked

For the lens currently I have acetate ready ( which might be too rounded ? ) but going to try and form the shape using blutac then use Kristal Klear ......once fully dry , will remove lens and fit into place ........

I mean what could possibly go wrong .....lol

Lots of coffee on standby

Stay tuned

Happy benchtime

Nap

PS Also did a tiny bit of puttywork on the hairline

Hair painted now !

LOL

Well that went well ....NOT!! .....previous ones broke so building up the frame bit by bit ....having to wait till each addition is fully dry ....looks a little messy atm but should work out okay

Wish I could get a set by 3D !...or the reference picture had the glasses in the pocket .....unseen ....lol

Just for Nigel .....getting clearer .....Oooooo.....the excitement might be too much

Before the lens are fitted will need to paint at least the eye area !
